2006 and 2009 data are calculated by dividing the reported amount of landfilled biodegradable waste by the reported amount of biodegradable waste generated in 1995 (using data reported by the respective countries to the European Commission). The 2010 data are estimated for all countries but Italy. The ETC/SCP has estimated the missing BMW data for 2010 by subtracting the increase in the amount of MSW composted or digested from 2009 to 2010 (Eurostat, 2010) from the amounts of BMW landfilled in 2009. This calculation methodology did not address improvements in diverting other biodegradable waste from landfill, such as paper or textiles, or diversion from landfill to incineration. As such, these data are only rough estimates.
